God she was absolutely phenomenal. I think about that a lot! Used to see her stumbling around the Hawley Arms a lot, but never saw her sing live. What a fucking talent.

Today we're taking a look at the stylophone, a tiny synthesizer you play with a pen! Originally released in the late 1960s, this pocket-sized synth creates tones when the stylus touches its metal keyboard, which gives it its electrifying sound!

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

Half term is coming to a close. I have rollerskated. I have trampolined. I have trained. I have bused. I have deloused. I have cleaned, without making any visible difference. I have gone to see Suede. Looking forward to some microphone time tomorrow 🎀

How weirdly are you listening? Debussy was a good crossover for me from classical piano into something a bit freer. Hats off to him.

Elizabeth McCorvey is a talented artist and multi-instrumentalist with a message, and Ain’t Gonna Lay Down is about fighting the good fight.

As she arrived at the session she informed me that her drummer was sick and couldn’t make it, so the obviously I had to fill in on drums!
